How to Use the Cockpit (Self-hosted Headless CMS API) MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can I set up human-in-the-loop approvals for Cockpit (Self-hosted Headless CMS API) in Mastra AI?

Yes, you can set requireToolApproval on tools like deletecontentitem within your Mastra agent configuration. This stops the agent from executing destructive CMS actions until you manually approve the step.

Perplexity

Multi-step content syncing with Mastra AI

The `create_or_update_content_item` and `batch_content_items` tools allow your Mastra workflows to sync data across multiple environments. When a content update triggers, the framework runs validation checks and updates Cockpit programmatically. If the self-hosted server experiences a network hiccup, Mastra's built-in retry engine handles exponential backoffs. This ensures your bulk imports never leave your headless CMS in a half-written state.

Automated localization pipelines

This MCP Server includes `get_lokalize_project` and `get_lokalize_project_locale` to automate your translation workflows. Mastra agents can detect untranslated content, run them through translation steps, and write them back to Cockpit. You can build conditional branches that check if a translation exists before triggering a write. If a locale is missing, the Mastra workflow pauses for human approval or automatically calls your translation service.

Automated form submission handling

The `submit_inbox` tool lets your agent collect external form data and push it directly into Cockpit's inbox module. You write standard TypeScript workflows that parse incoming webhooks, clean the data, and trigger the submission. If a form submission fails validation, the workflow routes the payload to an admin notification branch. This keeps your user-generated content pipeline running without manual database checks.

Setup guide

Set up Cockpit (Self-hosted Headless CMS API) MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All Cockpit (Self-hosted Headless CMS API) tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "cockpit-self-hosted-headless-cms-api-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "cockpit-self-hosted-headless-cms-api-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "Cockpit (Self-hosted Headless CMS API) Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to Cockpit (Self-hosted Headless CMS API) tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Cockpit (Self-hosted Headless CMS API) transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
